Odd questions
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
I've resigned to the idea that Sherlock realized Watson would do it and did it so Watson was in the clear.

What's an interesting build to go through Baldur's Gate EE with? I'm thinking Ranger/Cleric Multiclass, I've never done that build before and I heard you get access to Druid Spells because of a bug.

A cautionary tale about cancer
Sometimes you can't fight it. My grandmother was diagnosed with leukemia and was gone less than a week after. My best friend's mom died when he was 18, and his family has been struggling since despite their good, universal insurance because one of the providing members of the family fell away. Very hard not to make a joke about "you could always cook meth".

Double thumbs up from me, love the portrayal of that character.

I wanted to love this game. I really did. It ticks all the boxes of things that I love... but my GOD is this game impossible. It ended up being my most hated game ever. Something is only tense if you don't have to repeat it 50 times - then it becomes a rage-inducing chore. Seriously, ten minute long first person platforming chase sequences where every action you do has about a two second margin for error and if you mess up once you start over? Who the hell approved of that? Hehe, yeah. There is a hook: The game / player character runs faster / slower depending on your hardware. On certain computers, the chasing scene is like totally impossible. The faster the game runs, the easier it gets for you. I only managed it back in the days, because I reduced my screen resolution and all that. The whole world makes sense now. :S- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS

It's true about weapons. The second Penumbra game was far more terrifying than the first because I wasn't preoccupied with trying to hammer the enemies to death. Just having a weapon puts a player into a mindset that says "I have this weapon, I should fight the enemies", take away the weapon and the thought barely crosses the player's mind.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
- Middle age parent digging your kids cartoons? Here's a thread for you!
Definitely the highlight of Korra so far, I think. On a side note, I love how the thread title seems desperate to rationalize liking cartoons. Cartoons are awesome.- Middle age parent digging your kids cartoons? Here's a thread for you!
Legend of Korra isn't as good as The Last Airbender but not for lack of trying. The storylines are ambitious but the resolutions thus far have been lacking.- Class and Race of your main toon. Poll.

Avatar has so outgrown being a kids' cartoon it's not funny. I bet the first season finale gave many a child nightmares, between Koizilla and Koh the Facestealer.- Movies you've seen recently
Also praiseworthy for a great performance by Joel Murray.- What are you playing now?
I'm tempted to say that if you want horror then try playing Oblivion. I find it amazingly horrifying that so many people liked that game. " try playing Oblivion" funny comment I have also heard a few bad views around the latest Amnesia but I suppose I need to see for myself It has a major problem in that it's not scary. It builds up very well for the first half of the game and then the second half doesn't live up to that promise. It's also much more storybased and has pretty much zero game mechanics - it's like a haunted house tour.- Movies you've seen recently
Well, we did series 1 on Thursday, and series 2 on Friday. Up until 3am both nights after the kids went to bed. I consider 4.5 hours in a row of one show marathoning. Oh well that's doable with some leftover freetime. When you said "marathoned the first 6 episodes" I thought you meant the whole 9 hours in one go.- What are you playing now?
I'm going to do the whole Bg1-Bg2 thing prior to release with my own NPC-free party of four. I want the basic Ftr / MU / Clrc / Thf bases covered but not too vanilla and am agonising over party composition. Please feel free to throw some suggestions at me. Was thinking uber-cheese power play of - Cavalier Rngr / Cleric Ftr / Thf Sorc Although I also like the idea of an evil party but you don't get that pure power-munchkin composition. What this is missing is an Elven Barbarian. His name would be Glorfinmad.- Movies you've seen recently
I just watched the first episode of that after struggling to find the time all week. How on earth do you have time to Marathon it?- What you did today

Haha, see, that's what I mean by tone. Because the actual comparison never happened. - RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
